Blogmas Day 20 - Baking Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I decided to make peanut butter blossom cookies this year. I made them a couple of years ago to bring to work and share with my colleagues. They enjoyed them, and Liam and I both liked having some at home. I love peanut butter and love these cookies because of their peanut butter taste. I loved how when they first came out of the oven, the kisses were melted and so delicious blending in with the peanut butter flavour.

This year, I decorated the Hershey kisses like Christmas trees. This was one of the designs included in the recipe I used from Chocolate with Grace. She also includes a design to make them into reindeer that is so cute. I will have to try that out one year. 

I didn't have sprinkles on hand, so I improvised and used colored frosting instead. I made the frosting using the recipe from the Best Cut out Sugar Cookie recipe by Joy Food Sunshine. I divided the frosting into three bowls and added food coloring for blue, red, and yellow ornaments to decorate the chocolate trees.  In the future it would definitely be easier and look nice with sprinkles. To add the green frosting onto the kisses, I used a Ziploc bag and cut a small hole at the corner to make a piping bag. For the ornaments, I dipped tooth picks into the frosting then gently dabbed the different colors onto the dried green frosting.

Frosting recipe: Frosting for the sugar cookies from Joy Food Sunshine

Notes: These are quick to make and the dough does not have to chill. They are quick 10 minutes in the oven. All together it probably was 20 minutes baking and then 20 mins to make the frosting and coloring them in the different bowls, then decorating about 15 minutes.
